MENTAL ILLNESS
Dream: 1 May, 1986

The water spigots here are all very small. Using the largest one, I rinse the
soap from my body. A person riding a bike turns into someone driving a car—
and the bike morphs into an automobile. I am sitting on a cart looking down
at the water below the bridge. I hear a man say: look, there are so many fish
under the bridge. There are lots of black fish and green sea conches.

I am walking alone along a deserted beach. There I collect two calendars
as large as bed sheets. On the back is a grid of boxes. The room where I am
staying has a computer and a TV antenna. I don't know yet that when I am
going down the stairs, I start to tremble and shake, emitting a sound to myself.
I have become a schizophrenic mental patient, standing there laughing. A
woman stares at me so that I have to turn it off.

A woman leaps through the window. I stand on the bed and want to jump out
too. A girl is hugging a big red red lamp that turns into a sharp needle, flying
through the air, and installs the lamp onto a big machine.


梦1986 年5 月1 日——精神病

这儿的水龙头的水都很小,用最大的那个水龙头,我把身上的肥皂都冲掉。

骑自行车的人变成开汽车,自行车组成了汽车,我做在车子上向桥下的河中看,听一
个男子说,看,这桥下的鱼那么多,这里有黑鱼还有许多绿色的海螺。

我一个人走在荒滩上,在那里拾到两本床单大的日历本,后面有许多的格子。

我住的房子里有电脑及天线控制,我还不知道在下楼梯时,我开始发抖,一个人发出
声音来,我变成一个精神分裂的病人,站在那儿笑着,她看了我只好关掉。

一个女人跳出窗口,我站在床上也要跳出去。一个女孩儿抱起红色的大灯,变成一个
尖针,飞在空中,并把这灯装到大机器上。
